Moving hosts

For the past year or so I've been hosting all my websites on a dedicated server from Beachcomber. They've been very good and I'd be more than happy to stay with them, but I took a look at what I was actually using and what I'm paying and the two just didn't match. The fact is, I don't need a server all to myself. It's been great being able to install whatever software I need, especially getting Ruby/Rails installed (and indeed Java for an online league system), but there are a few hosts nowadays that offer things like Ruby on Rails as part of their shared hosting packages. As a result, I've signed up with Site5. They're very big on Ruby and Rails - they now write just about all their systems in it - and they've been around a long time with a good reputation. They also offered a good shared package with a decent amount of disk space and plenty of bandwidth (as long as no more of my sites get chosen as UK mirror for a computer game demo!). This site should be moved over now (if you're reading this post then it is) and my others will be moved in the next week or two.
